I think maybe I’ve heard a few Justin Bieber songs—think maybe I’ve heard him sing a few times on television, but Justin Bieber isn’t part of my world.

I have a passing interest in entertainment news, but leave it to Bieber and other “stars” like him to make entertainment news headline news. His arrest last Thursday got a lot of attention. He was arrested on a DUI, for resisting arrest and for drag racing. That’s kind of sad, really, as he’s only a 19-year-old kid, but sad isn’t headline news.

Andrea Mitchell, I’ve always had a lot of respect for you, but was it necessary to interrupt an NSA discussion on your MSNBC news show to go to “breaking” news on Justin Bieber’s bond hearing? The article that I’m linking to states you were forced to do it. Really? I kind of don’t buy that. You’ve been in the news business a long time and you damn well know that this Bieber business isn’t real news. Gee, Andrea, just say no to bullshit.

Nothing Justin Bieber does warrants a bulletin nor is it breaking news. He’s probably too young to be getting all this kind of attention and it’s probably making his “issues” worse. Maybe leave the kid alone and let him work things out.
